I attended a talk by GSK and there was part of the talk about security. They don't allow usb devices to be plugged into their analysis computers. But every year they get an intern that tries to charge their phone from the PC USB.
Something like this, that doesnt halt the computer but shows a warning on screen and logs information would perhaps be a solution to their problem. Although in the case of industrial espionage maybe locking the system would be worth it...
- lozf 6y agoAt a former gig for a post-production facility we used CoSoSys EndpointProtector to restrict USB access to workstations. Works as described in your second paragraph, (logs and warning) admin can then allow approved devices remotely if necessary.
